That's why I said they can be used to achive *similar* effects.

Readers with Folder-based organization expose the file structure through USB and the files are physically stored on the device in the folders. Managing the folder structure doesn't involve anything other than just moving the file within storage; there is no master database or app involved. Collections are more like tags or links; very useful but independent of the actual location of the file.
